It is not 100% correct to say these are deprecated, because LLVM 8-12 are not themselves deprecated, in which case only the legacy API is available (we should definitely deprecate the older LLVM versions some time though)

Yeah, conditional deprecations are a bit weird. I think it makes sense though. New code should not use these methods unless they explicitly wish to support LLVM < 13. Otherwise, (keep) using them is totally fine until the next major release.

I don't think this is necessary. The behaviour is fixed (no delay loading by default) and everything else explained in the Windows article.
